Holiday Mini Bailout #3: O Christmas Tree

Newsflash! Christmas is but a fortnight away. I'm calm, I'm cool, I'm collected, I'm also in denial! How about you? All hunky-dory in your neck o' the woods? If so, please keep it to yourself. ;-) For the rest of you us, I have a little rescue remedy.

I call it my Holiday Mini Bailout. Untwist your seasonal skivvies 'cause each day until the 19th I will post a simple 4"x3.5"card to help you with some last-minute projects. These are easy cards that I made in a snap when I discovered my cupboard was bare. They can also be adapted into gift tags - yay, a Christmas bargain! No time for fancy foot-work right now, so these are super simple projects, in most cases requiring only some scrap paper, stamp and long-lost bits from under the craft table. Let's do Christmas without Botox, shall we?

Here is Holiday Mini Bailout #3 - O Christmas Tree:

The background paper is from...well, who knows! I found it loose at the bottom of some random pieces of hoarded papers. The tree is from HOTP's "Enchanted Christmas" set, stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves. I cut it out with Spellbinders Labels 4 and inked it with TH's Antique Linen. To finish, a little bow with Doodlebug's Christmas Bakers Twine.

On the inside I stamped the greeting from Chocolate Baroque's "Warm Christmas Greetings" with Memento Rhubarb Stalk. And we're done!
